TTC any which way DP CM BT OPK Grapefruit drinking ....

[C1NDY]

Hi All,

Hope you like our new home!

Hi. Another faint faint line last night but bleeding has stepped up a gear today - heavy flow and clots. Ah well, was expected...

Am sure this is not just in mind though and has happened quite a few times - very faint lines and symptoms and then heavy af. Could I be conceiving but failing at implantation phase? Guess blood tests will show up any reasons for this.

Feel remarkably ok though - maybe an anniversary conception this month...

Yellow sorry AF appears to have got going again. Perhaps you have had a very early MC this is definately something to report back to your fertility clinc.

iggy it is so difficult not to symptom spot, I have found myself doing it today and I am only 4DPO so ity is total madness, I dread to think what I am going to be like next week!

Hello everyone,

You won't get rid of me that easily

Yellow I'm sorry you seem to have had a false alarm/CP. It's so cruel. I would def mention it next time you have a clinic appt. I hope your anniversary brings good tidings!

Jools Sorry to hear that things are tough. All I can do is echo Yellows advice about initiating sex outside of fertile windows. I think that was the only thing that kept DH and I sane.

C1ndy Fab stuff re Paul McKenna! It has clearly inspired you so that's great- I hope you are happy with the results and also that your AF gets a move on so you can crack on with the baby mking efforts!

Iggy Symptom spotting now is so dangeous. I did it the cycle after the first mc one and there were loads as my hormone levels were still high. You might well be one of the lucky ones and I really hope you are but I can also remember how I felt when my AF got me and it wasn't pretty. I wouldn't wish that one anyone x

Pinkie your trip tp the US sounds a fab idea! Do it do it! It will do you good to have some time with your dh away from the kids - ttc or not.

Well I am starting to feel pretty grim. Getting sicker now but main issue is crippling tiredness and loads of dizziness. Every time I pick up something after ds (which is a lot) or go from sitting to standing my head just spins. I am so exhausted all the time just getting through the day with an active toddler is pretty hard work.

I have had some real panics but got my 2nd bloods back yesterday and the hormones are rising as they should do and the pregnancy was dated at 44-45 days last Friday which is about right.

Its a good start but there is still a lot of time left yet but I am trying to take one day at a time.

Iggy AF has arrived but sorry for the TMI its very light... and normally... it would be getting quite heavy by now. Oh well, at least it is only a day late but I am scared to speak too soon just in case it stops!!!

I am doing temping this month.. so I guess this is CD1 and I will take my temperature tomorrow morning. Lets hope AF sticks around and that I get a BFP by the end of the month - as then I will not need to worry about AF ever again!!!

Yellow am sorry AF has shown its ugly head again... here I am wishing AF to arrive and there you are wishing for it not to appear. I would get it checked out as if you get a HCG line on the pg sticks then this should be looked into. Are you using any medication? as sometime this can affect the test result on a stick.

Yay for the sickness wasabi - although sympathy too. Can imagine must be a relief to have those bloods back. when is your first scan going to be, do you know? xx

You are so right I think about hormones... have been quite all over the place this month and I do think my hormones haven't settled down yet...

pinky am finding is so much worse after the MC - i was never this bad before...

C1ndy yes - let's hope this is your month!

Great news Wasbai MS is a great sign, although it is not easy especially when you have a little one to look after, but it is all in a good cause!

Iggy you are right the symptom spotting is definately worse post MC, I think it is as you feel desperate to get back to being pg gain. Hormones definately take a while to sort themselves out though making things a bit of a rollercoaster.

I have mangaged to clock up a high score on Intercourse frequency in fertility friend...the last couple of months i have used it I only managed a good score. I am excited about that. DH said today he feels like I am never going to get pregnant as it seems to be taking so long...he was in such a positve mood!

Wasabi Great news on the MS... yay!!! may you have many more sick days!! The tests look good too. Are you still going in for an early scan privately?

Okay, everyone... my AF stopped in the evening and now its light again this morning... what is going on. My first AF after MC was spot on and okay. Do you think there may be something wrong with my system. DH thinks its because my body has been through a lot and its my body's way of adjusting. I don't know what to think, do you think I should speak to the doctor or wait to see how the AF progresses i.e. wait till the end of the week? Has anyone experienced this, or am I the first. I am getting worried that it might be the start of perhaps the menopause or something else.

Cindy I had really weird AF's for the first 3 or 4 months after MC they would go on and off for two weeks. I spoke to the doctor about it and she sent me to have a scan to check that everything had come away (as I did not have a D&C_. When I went for my scan they said that everything had come away (they thought the GP had over reacted) and that it is very common for it to take a few cycles for your body to recover, escpecially the later the MC was (mine was 11 weeks) I found that after around 4 months everything was back to normal and my cycle is like clockwork again. So it is probably just your body recovering, you have been through a lot. When you have a baby they say that it takes 9 months for your body to recover, so I guess it could be the same with a MC you were PG for 3 months and so it might take the same amount of time to recover. This is more likely the reason that an early menopause. You could always ask GP to run blood tests to check you are ovulation normally to put your mind at rest.

I am on CD 20 now and am reaching the driving myself mad stage of the tww. How are you getting on Iggy?

Hi to everyone else!

Hello girls....I haven't posted for a very, very long time but do still pop in and catch up with you all every couple of weeks. I won't send messages to everyone (as I'll miss someone out) but I can see that there's been some good news for the gang (hurray) but unfortunately some bad news too......I'm so sorry. It's been very sad to read of pregnancies starting off with such hope and ending in sorrow.
I've now got 5 weeks to go till bean's arrival (didn't really shake the nickname) and am very much looking forward to it. I am starting to feel quite tired now and am trying to get in bed a bit earlier. I'm also going to work from home a little bit more to cut the commute into central London down (maybe 2-3 days a week). I'm working till 38 weeks as I'm kind of assuming bean will be late! I have been trying to work on my local network - joining NCT classes and meeting up with other mums-to-be in my area which has been fun.
Anyway - just wanted to say hi and that I still drop in from time to time. xx

Becky 5 Weeks to go..your the same as Heeby... why not catch up with the one's that have graduated they are on the following link. You can talk to them about anything and of course discuss labour issues.. may be... the link is ....
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/633845-GFJ-drinkers-anonymous?pg=29

I can't believe time has gone so fast. You must be feeling very tired. Is this your first bean?

Pinky I was 12 weeks, so I guess it may be the body adjusting but what I don't understand is why my first AF after MC was fine?? and this one is taking a while to settledown... may be I did not ovulate on this one??? I will give it till the end of the week and then I will speak to my doctor. I am temping so if AF does not arrive, I am assuming I may ovulate this month so can still try?? will use my OPK sticks following the DP... oh well, how difficult is this gonna be

Great news Beckymcg - will be thinking of you these next five weeks.

Hi everyone else. I'm off on holiday for a week now sand not going to look at the internet even once, so don't assume I'm missing. I'll be back late next week and hoping for some good news. If you get to 999 messages and start a new one can you link to the thread here.

good luck anyone on 2ww and enjoy the BDing if you are at that stage. When I get back we will be mid BD (not literally!)

xx

Yellow Have a wonderful holiday and speak to you when you get back.

Enjoy your holiday yellow!

Good luck with the next 5 weeks BeckyMcG make sure you get plenty of rest.

Hey guys, can i come back in. had a BFP a few months ago and then Mced for the 4th time, we went for a private scan on the 7th may and found that the baby had died at 8 weeks. had an ERPC on the 12th may. Pretty sure i ov last week as had ewcm, i havent done any tests since mc to check if hormones have gone or not but i had all the symptoms of Ov. AF normally arrives 17 days after ov so will be expecting it in about 11 days.
We havent been actively trying but we also havent not been trying, we did bd when i ov but dont expect to be pg as it took us 3 yrs to fall with the 3rd mc and then i fell on clomid and this mc i fell on clomid too. we have agreed we will give it 3 months and then perhaps try the clomid again but in the meantime we are just going to go with the flow.

My friend called me yesterday she is 40 weeks and she proceeded to moan for about 30mins about how uncomfortable and pissed of she was, when i told her it would all be worth it when the baby arrives she told me she didnt think it would be. it made me very upset as i fell 6 weeks after she did so should be 34 weeks now or at least 15 weeks if i had not had this mc too why is life so unfair. well after all the moaning she did she had her baby girl at 4.15 this morning and i am so of her so much so it hurts. Does that make sense ?

I feel very alone at the moment, i have no one in RL who i can talk to as everyone thinks i am doing so well and yet all i want to do all the time is cry. we had a holiday last week we went to egypt and it was lovely but am now very depressed that i am back and dont want to be here at all. I then made the mistake on commenting on another thread yesterday and although i wasnt being mean in anyway i got a lot of backlash from it and thats made me very emotional too.

Oh god sorry for the waffle guys it would be lovely to have some moral support.

Yellow enjoy your hols, i think perhaps you have had a very early mc i dont know if you are aware but if there is pg hormones in your system then OPKs will show up positive.I know people that have used OPKs as HPTs although i never have. perhaps worth an experimental try at some point.

Cindy am with you on the AF front i am hoping to god that it returns soon so i feel like i am back to normal athough am dreading it too as it will just be another reminder that i am not pg and that i am never one of the lucky ones who fall straight after a mc.

Ok will stop going on now. Thanks for listening guys.

thanks ray - I leave tomorrow but trying to get on with work today and not use MN, but didn't want to leave your post unanswered. sounds like you are having horrid time of it - pleased you have come back (though not pleased because it's because of MC). Much love xxx

Ray We are all with you, at this difficult time. Even though we cannot physically hug you or hold your hand through this we are all here to listen to you. As you know this is my Second MC and of course am devasted, but life is life and if it is not meant to be then it wasn't but getting my head around it some days ... well chokes me. But I know its going to happen and I will keep with it until I do. I have a friend who had 11 MC and now has three kids... she could have packed her bags.. .and said enough is enough... its never going to happen to me... but no she got strong and saw it through and thank heavens it worked for her. For me, I am worried now that it will never again happen for me, but I have a georgeous daughter who will be 3 in July, so I guess I am lucky. Ray, I don't know if this is your first baby... but regardless of that point... life can be hard but I know you will get there again. Besides you will have all of us on the journey with you. Have you had tests ?

I know the feeling being around pg people, it is upsetting. My sister-in-law can be very insensitive sometimes and even though she is older than me, I feel like its a race against me and her to see who can get pg. I think she may be pg now and I am envious of her... but the real reason is because I am still hurting from the MC but I have dusted myself down and life begins again. Not sure if my ramberlings are making any sense but just wanted you to know that I am going through the same thing... its hard but I can't dwell on it. The way I deal with it is to move on and hopefully next time the bean will stick.

Welcome back Ray

I heard your news - really hope it happens again for you soon. Imanaged to get a BFP AND MC whilst you've been away from this thread, so believe me I understand a little of how you feel. Rant and moan away - that is what we are all here for

Cindy - I found a Paul McKenna weight loss book in the library and read through it on the way to Wales this morning (work business trip). I have yet to listen to the CD, but will do so. The jury is out at the moment - it all sounds good but I have a few queries about some aspects - might go looking for a thread to ask questions but am thinking about doing this, or at least embracing some of the principles

Hi there, any chance I can join? On my 7th month TTC #2.

Jools Please do it... you will never have to diet again. I have started a thread on ... www.mumsnet.com/Talk/big_slim_whatever_weight_loss_club/769905-Paul-McKenna-weightloss-system ?rnd=1244537255202

Its not busy at the moment but some of the girls I went to the seminar with will be logging on to it, they are new to Mumsnet so it will take them a while to get use to it.

I feel absolutely wonderful about myself, I will be able to tell you how much weight I have lost in two weeks time.

It may be different as I went to his seminar and got to work his techniques so my enthusiam may be different from someone reading his book. But honestly Jools if you do this you will never be hungry again and you will lose weight. Just trust the system (I know I sound brainwashed!! but honestly it will work... I can see a big difference in myself in that I am not even thinking of food!!)

How would you feel never to diet again, to be totally in control of your own body... give it a go...

Dalrymps of course you can, welcome to our lucky thread!! we are here to help you along to getting that bfp

Well my AF is in full gear, so as to speak but I am whispering this in case I scare it away again . So roll on CD 8 where the action will begin again.
